Working Area

For the building and rebuilding of attributes’ indexes a working area under the control of the normal file system will be required.

The size of such an area should be oriented to the size of the AVIDX logical device (i.e. to be safe this working area should be foreseen with the same size as the AVIDX logical device).

This working area will, at directory installation, be assumed to be per default at: “$DIRX_INST_PATH/Tmp”.

It can however be redirected at loading time, via dirxload assigning another path to the dirxload-parameter: -t.

Wanting on the other side to force a post indexing procedure (e.g. for the re-building of indexes) to use an alternative area, this can be achieved assigning a corresponding path to the environment variable: “$DIRX_DSA_TMP” prior starting the DSA.
